Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor
NOTE: If you do not have a heart rate monitor, you can skip this
task.
You should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin,
just below your breastplate. It should be snug enough to stay in
place during your activity.
1Snap the heart rate monitor module À onto the strap.
2Wet both electrodes Á on the back of the strap to create a
strong connection between your chest and the transmitter.
3If the heart rate monitor has a contact patch Â, wet the
contact patch.
4Wrap the strap around your chest, and connect the strap
hook à to the loop.
The Garmin logo should be right-side up.
5Bring the device within range (3 m) of the heart rate monitor.
After you put on the heart rate monitor, it is on standby and
ready to send data.
TIP: If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you may
have to tighten the strap on your chest or warm up for 5–10
minutes.
Installing the GSC 10
NOTE: If you do not have a GSC 10, you can skip this task.
Both magnets must be aligned with their respective indication
lines for the Edge to receive data.
1Place the GSC 10 on the rear chain stay (on the side
opposite the drive train).
2If necessary, place the flat rubber pad À or the triangle-
shaped rubber pad between the GSC 10 and the chain stay
for stability.
3Loosely attach the GSC 10 using two cable ties Á.
4Attach the pedal magnet  to the crank arm using the
adhesive mount and a cable tie Ã.
The pedal magnet must be within 5 mm of the GSC 10. The
indication line Ä on the pedal magnet must line up with the
indication line Å on the GSC 10.
5Unscrew the spoke magnet Æ from the plastic piece.
6Place the spoke in the groove of the plastic piece, and
tighten it slightly.
The spoke magnet can face away from the GSC 10 if there is
not enough room between the sensor arm and the spoke.
The spoke magnet must line up with the indication line Ç on
the sensor arm.
7Loosen the screw È on the sensor arm.
8Move the sensor arm to within 5 mm of the spoke magnet.
You can also tilt the GSC 10 closer to either magnet to
improve alignment.
9Select Reset É on the GSC 10.

The LED turns red, then green.
10Pedal to test the sensor alignment.
The red LED blinks each time the pedal magnet passes the
sensor. The green LED blinks each time the spoke magnet
passes the sensor arm.
NOTE: The LED blinks for the first 60 passes after a reset.
Select Reset again if you require additional passes.
11When everything is aligned and working correctly, tighten the
cable ties, the sensor arm, and the spoke magnet.
Garmin recommends that the torque is 1.9 to 2.4 lbf-in. (0.21
to 0.27 N-m) to ensure a water tight seal on the GSC 10
sensor arm.
Training with Power Meters

ANT+ sensors that are compatible with your device.

Customizing the Device
Profiles
The Edge has several ways for you to customize the device
including profiles. Profiles are a collection of settings that
optimize your device based on how you are using it. For
example, you can create different settings and views for training
and mountain biking.
When you are using a profile and you change settings such as
data fields or units of measurement, the changes are saved
automatically as part of the profile.
Bike Profiles: You can create bike profiles for each bike you
own. The bike profile includes optional ANT+ sensors, bike
weight, wheel size, odometer value, and crank length.
Activity Profiles: You can create activity profiles for each type
of biking. For example, you can have a profile for training,
racing, and mountain biking. The activity profile includes
customized data pages, alerts, training zones (such as heart
rate and speed), training settings (such as Auto Pause and
Auto Lap), and navigation settings.
User Profile: You can update your gender, age, weight, height,
and lifetime athlete settings. The device uses this information
to calculate accurate ride data.
Customizing the Data Pages
